Ok, so if you’re in alpha state, your skillset will highlight the skills you cannot train in golden squares. But once you go omega - there’s no way of seeing which skills or skill levels will get removed if you drop back to alpha state.

It would be very convenient if there was a simple checkbox in your skill list/queue that enables omegas to actually see the layout as alphas.

Even a checkbox that would hide all the omega skills would be helpful (something like [this](https://eve-skill-list.surge.sh/))

How is this helpful?

1. If i’m on an omega clone that i’m planning to revert back to alpha and I don’t want to “overtrain” some of the skills and therefore lose SP since there’s a 5mil cap on active training
2. If i’m actually planning to extract the excess skills, this would enable a quick way of checking which skills can be extracted without affecting the alpha clone performance
